Aeolus AW05 Snow Ace 175/70 R13 82T

The Aeolus AW05 SnowAce is the debut model of one of the largest Chinese manufacturers in the segment of winter studded tires. At the same time, the novelty is designed for middle-class passenger cars that operate in harsh conditions of Northern Europe and other regions with equally complex climatic conditions, including, of course, Russia.

Increased contact patch

One of the key features of this model is the increased contact patch size. This was achieved thanks to a number of design features. First of all, it is the almost flat tread profile, as well as the shape and arrangement of its elements. It has a V-shaped design containing a large number of massive blocks. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent grip and predictable reactions when driving on slippery roads.

Excellent directional stability

Another undeniable advantage of the AW05 is its excellent directional stability. This is largely due to the longitudinal rib located in the center of the tread pattern. Its significant width, combined with the absence of interruptions throughout its length, provides this tread element with excellent resistance to dynamic deformation.

Original shoulder area design

It is also impossible not to mention the original design of the shoulder areas of the tread pattern. Each of them contains a multitude of massive rectangular blocks, arranged almost perpendicular to the direction of movement. This provides the tire with a short braking distance and stability when cornering.

Excellent traction properties on snow and ice

Since the Aeolus AW05 Snow Ace model was initially created for operation on winter roads, the main attention during its development was paid to ensuring maximum traction properties on slippery snow and ice coverings. The tire was able to acquire this ability thanks to several design features. First of all, these are the numerous steel studs with symmetrical arrangement on the tread.

Another factor that provides excellent traction on ice and snow is the Z-shaped lamellas. These tread elements, when in contact with the road surface, form a multitude of sharp edges that easily penetrate the water film covering the ice, thus providing excellent traction on it.
It is also impossible not to mention the increased depth of the longitudinal and transverse grooves. This design feature allows the tread to capture a significant amount of snow, which provides the tire with more reliable traction when driving on snowy roads.

Main features of the winter tire Aeolus AW05 Snow Ace

- original V-shaped design of the symmetrical directional tread pattern, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent traction properties on any winter roads in any weather conditions;
- increased contact patch size, provided by the shape, arrangement, and size of the tread elements, as well as the almost flat tread profile;
- increased depth of longitudinal and transverse drainage grooves improves resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning, passability, and traction when driving on snowy roads;
- numerous symmetrically arranged steel studs, as well as a large number of Z-shaped lamellas, provide excellent traction properties on ice;
- a rubber compound that retains its elasticity even at very low ambient temperatures.
